Bimini tops get their name from Bimini, an island in the Bahamas that is just a short distance away from the eastern coast of Florida. The rays of the sun are strong and very hot there, and tops were first used there for protection from the harsh rays of the sun during the long summer seasons. Today, these tops are popular with boaters from around the world and are especially essential in the tropical climates.
When you are looking to purchase a new Bimini top for your boat, if you use a GPS you need to remember to consider the location of your GPS antenna. If it is located underneath the Bimini, the canvas may very well affect the ability of signals to pass through. The size and coverage area of the Bimini is something that should be taken into consideration too, because you might find that you need to move the antenna to another location if you want to continue to get a reliable GPS signal for your boat.
Manufacturers also make covers for Bimini tops to protect them when they are folded down. These are also called cover boots, and they protect your top from damaging UV rays, birds, rot and mildew, soil and debris. Always make sure that your Bimini top is completely dry before you fold it closed and cover it with a cover boot. If you are thinking of getting a custom fitted bimini top, it might come along with a cover boot, so be sure to check before you purchase a separate one.
The ready made Bimini tops are available for most of the popular boat makes and models. It should install easily and be purchased for a couple hundred dollars for a small one. On sail boats, the height of your top needs to be a few inches below the boom. This way you will be able to sail with the bimini deployed. Check the height of the cover against the height of the boom to make sure you will have enough clearance.
If you enjoy fishing from your boat, you might want to consider a t top cover rather than a conventional one so that they dont interfere with your ability to move and walk around the boat as you need to. If you are considering getting a custom made cover, you should also consider this point if you need to. These t top bimini tops are specially designed to permit full walk around freedom of movement along the boat. |
